Has anyone successfully backed up and restored on a WM6.1 ROM (Bepe's kitchen, Tom's or Meschle's ROM's)
When I try on my cooked ROM (using Bepe's Kitchen - thanks Bepe, great tool!) using SPB backup I get the messages in the log file during backup:
2008-02-12 12:45:52 Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:12 Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:15 Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".
When using sprite backup I get prompted to restore in upgrade mode and it fails to restore my PIM and other databases.
Have I done something wrong in cooking my ROM? or are other people seeing this too. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
Thanks.
Matt.
No you haven't done anything wrong. The files above are related to PIM and SMS which are not backed up properly by SPB or Sprite' Backup applications on WM6+
I always use PIM Backup 2.5 additionaly to the above just to backup the PIM data.

Thanks Carty, have you managed to perform a full restore using both SPB backup (or sprite) and PIM Backup and still keep the activesync state so that all of the exchange data is not re-downloaded ?

has anyone tried to restore WM5 data to WM6 using Sprite Backup (Backup software bundled with dopod D810). I'm just hoping restore my contact, connection setting and messages I assume you can't restore installed software. If this is not possible does anyone know how to transfer contact, connection setting and messaging information to WM6?
Thanks for any info
anybody has any info on restoring data from WM5 to WM6?
when going from one ROM to another ROM, i will NEVER restore from a backup. i made the mistake one time and will never do it again. in my opinion, it's best to start from scratch and reinstall 3rd party apps.
Hi Guys,
is there any safe way to backup everything, data and programs. I looked up ACtivsynch, but backup/restore does not exist for 8525??
Is the the best way here to copy all data using Explore option and re-install all programs?
Backup via ActiveSync is not available for all devices using WM5 or WM6. More about backing up the device can be found here. Backups using commercial backup apps usually are not capable of ROM upgrade (Only Sprite Backup can do it and it is not working 100% for all ROMs). You can however save your PIM data (contacts, SMS, eMails...) using freeware PIM backup.
can somebody give me a prog to make a backup of sms..mms..contacts..etc
thx
you can use sprite back up..it also back ups the systems
Backup
For backup you can use PIM Backup. I think this is the best backup app.
Just copy the exe in your device and Run.
(its a free software)

I see a few people mention problems with SPB backup.
With duttys new rom due soon, id like to back up before flashing.
I've used SPB and Sprite.
Most people are happy with either. Sprite is my preference for standard Backups and PIMBackup (available on this forum) I use for all my PIM data.
I'm not sure if SPB have developed the functionality to match Sprite's but Sprite allows you to restore Backups without having the app installed (i.e. Backups are saved as .exe's ).
Also Sprite, allows you to upgrade to another Windows version (and preserve your installed apps), though I've not tried this ever.
Hope this helps
ill give them a go, thanks
i'd recommend PIM back-up
